HTC One range pricing emerges from Vodacom

The contracts on the "cheaper" side of the pricing bracket don't offer anything above the data bundle. Such rubbish and expensive contracts, you are better off buying the phone on its own and going prepaid (if Vodacom was your only option).
 
@jan if you ever get a chance, do tell the network morons to read these threads. I am not sure what the strategy and marketing fools do in these companies. Its almost like their entire viewpoint is to con ignorant or naive customers into buying stuff rather than actually creating excellent products where the logical decision would be to buy the product.

Disgusting people. There are tens perhaps hundreds on this forum who would gladly offer polite advice to the networks but NO, they have to be @#$%^ about it.
 
My sister got herself an "unbranded" Samsung S3 from the other side of the pond and is now on a Cell C straight up 400 contract. Nothing any of the other networks offer come close to her total cost over 24 months...
 
Hmm autopage doesnt have the one s it seems when i downloaded the availbable phones pdf, the One S seems quite decent.
 
Too expensive.

Doesn't look like HTC will be able to make a big comeback in South Africa & the rest of Africa.

Or maybe it's the service providers who are slapping huge profit margins on the phones?

It is South Africa, after all.
 
It seems that lately its better to just buy the phone on prepaid somewhere then find a package from a network that suits you.

Please stay away from Autopage. It's been a nightmare for them to do anything correctly.
 
[-]Vodacom have lost the plot! MTN is ~R250 cheaper per month than Vodacom when comparing the Talk 240 contract with an HTC One X. Time to port.[/-]
Edit: Not sure where I got this info from, removed to not cause confusion.

I try starting to read the article, skip to the table and then all of the bloated Mumbo Jumbo just throws me off.

Hate to say it, but the only kind of contract I may consider is from CellC - and that may be just to finance a device over 12 months.
 
Lol. way to go Vodacom, the only people who will now go for the one S are the people that really love it, and would prefer it over the one X for some obscure reason, because the price difference is negligible.

The one V is also supposed to be cheap.

Just watch for deceptive advertising, the MTN anytime 200 contract is R200 airtime at R2.3 per minute which equals about 86 anytime minutes. The talk 240 is 240 anytime minutes. The better comparison would be the MTN Anytime 500 vs the Talk 240, plus data cost, at which point they work out about the same.
 
decent pricing but now if vodacom can tell us if they got the new batch of one x's with the wifi problems fixed

Weird! I was working on the Anytime 500 - but for the life of me I cannot find where I got to the difference! Let me correct my post.
